They need enough water and some sun but not baking sun, and I don't fertilize my lilies, but I have bark mulch everywhere which gives off nutrients and keeps the soil ph down. Oriental lilies likes a slightly acid soil. What can I say, lilies are probably the easiest plants to care for, ones you have picked off the red lily beetles and killed them - every day!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-37471170257411685052012-08-04T23:07:06.953+01:002012-08-04T23:07:06.953+01:00Oh yes, Stargazers are my favorites, too!
